What skills and experience we're looking for

Are you seeking a new professional challenge in an innovative, well supported environment? Are you a lifelong learner looking to model high aspirations and excellence to the community you serve? Are you relentless in your mission to improve and keen to support and challenge students and staff alike to become the best they can be? If so, an exciting opportunity has arisen to join us in our demanding mission to offer a first-class provision for our school community by raising Aspirations, instilling Resilience, creating Opportunities and securing both academic and personal Excellence. We are seeking a hardworking, committed practitioner to join us in our journey as together, we can change lives!

We require an inspirational and dedicated expert practitioner to lead our Humanities Faculty on its continued journey of improvement. Not only will they be an experienced Geography teacher, but they will also have the necessary leadership qualities to oversee the strategic direction of multiple departments including History, Geography, Citizenship, Religion and Ethics, Sociology and Philosophy. Whilst experience of middle management is desirable, it is not essential as we offer a comprehensive programme of training opportunities and seek to ensure all stakeholders are continually developed and equipped with the necessary skills to be as effective as possible in their role.

Our classrooms are happy learning environments where you will see a vibrant, effective pedagogy in action and you will be supported by an excellent bespoke CPD

package.

We encourage potential colleagues to visit our state-of-the-art learning community, so you can see first-hand the vibrant and inclusive learning environment that we are proud to offer. We are confident that you will be impressed with our relentless commitment to providing our local community with opportunities for success both at Woodlands and in the wider world. The school is committed to Safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff to share in this commitment.
